Gates K080948 V Belt Review

I do not recommend this belt. On my 2014 Tundra 1794 it only put 29,000 miles before it started making that horrible screeching noise. Replaced with a Dayco belt, the squeak was gone. I'm pretty sure Dayco is actually an OEM part.

The belt looked good and ran smoothly. I drive a 2011 Toyota Tundra with a 4.6 liter V8 engine and this model fits perfectly. For everyone else with a 4.6 liter engine, the serpentine belt patterns for the 5.7 liter engine are the same as for the 4.6 liter engine. Now let's hope this belt lasts 6 years and 120,000 miles like my original belt!

Good price, installed as needed, works great. No more annoying squeaks from the old belt. Less stars: upgraded, about 10 After driving a few miles, we heard a strange "popping" sound, a sort of piercing.

Purchased for 2008 Toyota Sequoia 5.7L. DID do a lot of research and discussed Gates vs Gatorback and settled on Gates as I felt it felt more like OEM.

No complaints and Amazon beats the prices compared to car dealerships. Plan ahead and buy it and make it yourself. recommend.

When I first installed it, it screamed and squeaked for the first 30 seconds until the fan kicked on. After a week of research, I found that many Tundra wearers have the same concerns about different belts. Then I searched online for a belt location chart. I wound it wrong on the tensioner. This makes the belt very difficult to put on, but it still goes on. I removed it and routed it properly around the power steering, then around the alternator, then back around the tensioner. Works great now.

Good price, installed as needed, works great. No more annoying old belt squeak. Less stars: Update, driven about 10 miles, is ours noticed what a weird "popping" noise, quite high pitched. I turned off the engine and found the edge of the belt came loose, about 18 inches long, about the width of a chunky yarn.
